There was a lot of bad news this Thursday noon during the pre-match press briefing between ASSE and Montpellier. Long handicapped by the absences of Briançon, Maçon and Cornud, Olivier Dall'Oglio is experiencing a new wave of injuries within his rearguard this week: “We'll start with the bad news, Mickaël Nadé suffered a knee sprain during the match in Lyon and won't be there. There is no exact date for his return. It will take a few weeks, but that's fine. Already much better. He is walking normally but we will not take any risks On the day of the match we were more afraid. It should take between three and four weeks to find him. at the knee I don't think so. it's very serious, ten or fifteen days off for him. The knee that was operated on (editor's note, after his injury in Brest at the start of the season) has swollen a little, we can't use it. on that match.”

Olivier Dall'Oglio records the return from suspension of Matthew Cafaro and the return of injury Pierre Cornud. Anthony Briançon should take over next week with the group. Monconduit is still in the recovery phase while Ben Old will not return before 2025.
